After a new bomb attack on the religious community, fear and uncertainty are growing. The police are investigating at full speed, but are still in the dark in their search for the perpetrator.
Soot residue, a destroyed fence and a partially burned Thujen hedge in a small residential area in Zettling south of Graz bear witness to the car explosion that woke up the entire neighborhood early Friday morning.
Already the third attack
As reported, an explosive device destroyed a car parked in front of a house registered to a man who is a member of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Police assume there is a connection with two previous bomb attacks on the religious community in Leibnitz and Kalsdorf.
“It’s very scary”
On Saturdays it is quiet in the small Sackstrasse full of single-family homes. About 100 meters from the crime scene, a police van is parked on a dirt road, with two officers keeping an eye on the house. Meanwhile, the investigation is in full swing in the background. The car wreck is being analyzed, results are not yet available and there are no clues yet about possible perpetrators.
The discomfort among the religious community after the recent incident continues to escalate: “It is very frightening because we did not know anything like this before in Austria. We hope that the perpetrators will be caught quickly,” said Max Tinello, spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
